I may be able to help you with your daisy-chain design.
I have done a lot of work with this topology and know a few tricks.
Please give me the following details:
1) Clock Frequency _______________
2) Clock Amplitude________________
3) Type of Driver__________________
4) Number of Drops________________
5) Zo of trace_____________________
6) Length of Each Link_____________
7) Type of Inputs__________________

My simulations using XTK for most of the daisy chain topology is showing non-monotonicity on both the edges of the data/signal. I tried different termination strategies to remove the kink. But couln't.

What I saw was that the worst affected load is the first load from the driver?

Suggest me how to remove the non-monotonicity while using the daisy chain topology and is it ok if I bring that kink within the threshold levels.

thanks in advance.

regards,
Selva
